Introduction

This manual provides instructions for using Highway 300Di. Highway is designed for professional installation and there are a number of different options for how

Highway can be connected to your existing car stereo depending on your car and your stereo.

Your installer will be able to advise you which method has been used and give you some basic instruction on how to operate Highway in your car.

There are three main components to Highway 300Di:

Main unit This is typically installed behind your dashboard or in a glovebox with extension cables run to convenient points for connecting your

iPod, iPhone, iPad, USB device or other auxiliary music sources.

Controller The compact, removable controller should be installed within easy reach and has a high-contrast OLED display with back-lit buttons

and a simple rotary control for easy station selection or control over other connected devices.

Antenna Highway 300Di supports three types of antenna (external, internal and magnetic mount).

Installation instructions including wiring guidance are available in the Installation Guide.

Highway 300Di Startup screen

Getting started

Switching on and off

Press the button on top of the controller to switch Highway 300Di on.

To switch off press and hold the button down until the display switches off.

Forecourt pause

Ideal for quick stops at the petrol station or cashpoint, forecourt pause keeps Highway 300Di on standby

for 15 minutes after you remove the keys, making sure it’s ready for your return. Restart the ignition or

press the button within this period and Highway immediately tunes to the station you were listening

to or plays the music you were listening to on your iPod or USB device exactly where it left off. If you’re

listening to digital radio, you can even pause it for around 5-15 minutes, and resume listening without

missing a second – see page 9 for more details.

Picnic mode

Continue to enjoy Highway 300Di after you’ve reached your destination with picnic mode, which enables

you to listen with the ignition off and your car keys removed. Simply switch Highway on again to activate

picnic mode. To save power, USB-connected devices are not charged in picnic mode and Highway will

automatically shut down after an hour.

Note: Both forecourt pause and picnic mode are subject to different vehicle speciﬁcations. For example,

some vehicles will only supply power to the car stereo for 15 minutes with the ignition off and the

keys out.

Listening to Highway 300Di

Depending on how your unit has been installed, there are three possible methods for hearing Highway

300Di through your car stereo:

Auxiliary input Select the aux in source on your car stereo if Highway has been wired in as an

auxiliary source.

FM direct inject This method effectively takes over your FM source and replaces it with output

from Highway when you switch Highway on. Select the FM radio source on your

car stereo and tune to a particular frequency (default 87.6 MHz). Depending on

your installation this method may also retain access to your normal FM stations

to allow for trafﬁc announcements and data services used by some navigation

systems. You can change this frequency in Settings, see page 15.

FM broadcast This method broadcasts the output from Highway over FM to your car antenna.

Select the FM radio source on your car stereo and tune to a particular frequency

(default 87.6 MHz). You can change this frequency in Settings, see page 15.

Selecting your audio source

Highway 300Di gives you a choice of available audio sources depending on your installation.

Choose from Digital radio, USB (USB connection), iPod (USB connection) or Auxiliary input via

(3.5mm connection) as follows:

Press the button and repeat to step through the source options until you see the one you want then wait

for a few seconds to select the source shown on the bottom line of the screen.

Press the button and turn the Select knob to browse through the source options then press the

you’ve been tuned to the current station. Use the following controls to pause and control digital radio:
